The Best Things in Life

Back at Work

I did it, I survived my first week back at work...sort of! My first week was only 3 days long, and it was hard enough. Monday was the worst, and I was much better by Wednesday (but maybe that was only because I knew I'd be spending Thursday and Friday with my little guy...). I cried all day on Monday, and when I wasn't crying I was showing my co-workers pictures of Tyler. It was not a very productive day ;) It was rough because Mike and I carpool to work. I usually drop him off on my way, and that's what we did on Monday morning, but then I also dropped Tyler off at the day care. I was in the car with my family when we left the house, but by the time I got to work I was all alone. Oh, it was so sad! It was all so new, too. I had to take a completely different route to work because I had to swing by the day care on the way. It just sort of marked another change in my life, I guess. I'm still a little sad that I have to go back to work in the morning, but it will luckily be another short week. I think that easing back into work is the way to go...so many emotions are stirred up inside of me.

It is so amazing how in love with this little guy I am! All I want to do is hold him and gaze at him, try to get a smile out of him, hug him, sing to him...and nothing he does makes me upset or mad or frustrated. If he pees all over the place while I'm changing his diaper, I just laugh. If he's crying because he wants another bottle, I just want to cuddle him and feed him. When he's sleeping, I just want to pick him up and put him on my chest.

When I met Mike, I never thought that I could be more in love with anyone than I was with him. But now he's got MAJOR competition :)
